Hi Emily,
I did a little quick research and the most common problem seems to be
that something else has the file open. One thing that's commonly
mentioned is anti-virus software, but there could be something else as well.
If you've got anti-virus you might want to temporarily disable that in
case it's keeping the file locked.
Just a wild guess, but one other possibility is that if you're still
running your mail program it might have never completely closed the
file. Try closing that and see if it helps.
The other thing is that this is another case where sometimes a system
reboot might help. If some other process on your system has the file
open, that might prevent you from opening it. A reboot should clear that up.
If that doesn't work, you could try to make a copy of the original file
and see if you can import that. If you can't even copy it, you may
possibly have an issue with the drive, though I wouldn't think that likely.
Let us know what happens, there might be a few other things but what
I've mentioned should be pretty simple to start with.

Dear all, I am merging ADIF files from 3 operators into one DX4WIN file. Every
day or every few days, they send me their latest log. I have done this for the
last special event without any trouble (in Windows 8). This time, it has gone
flawless for 3 weeks, but now I am getting the IO Error 103. Just happened that
I upgraded to Windows 10.
Normally, they send me their ADIF files by email. I just download the files
to my desktop, and leave them there. (Not opened). I do a File Import, File
Import, and choose their specific ADIF file from my desktop. This is when I
get Error 103 this time. If I try to import in the current special event log,
or if I open a brand new DX4WIN file, the same hanging persists. However,
from a new DX4WIN file, I am able to import their old files that is still on m
desktop. Two of the ops sent me their files, and neither can be imported. I
assume the same will happen with op 3. This problem just started last night.
What can I try?? My laptop now has windows 10 (installed during the WPX wknd)
All the previous imports were under windows8. Any setting that I should
change or beware of in Windows 10??At this point I assume it is a Windows 10
issue.
Thanks in advance, Emily Thiel, P43E
